BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any
phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.

All Models:

1.

Shut off electrical power to the boiler.

2.

Turn the gas valve knob clockwise 

 to OFF.

Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will
not push in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it,
call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

3.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then
smell for gas, including near the floor. If you
smell gas, STOP! Follow 2A-1.3 in “What to do
if you smell gas”. If you don't smell gas, go to
the next step.

JVS Models:

4.

Turn gas valve knob counterclockwise 

to ON.

5.

Restore power to the boiler, and set the thermostat
to the desired temperature. The pilot will
automatically ignite when there is a call for heat.

JVT Models: (Continuous Pilot)

4.

Remove louvered burner cover by loosening the
two thumb screws to access the pilot burner.

5.

Remove the control box cover to fully access the
gas valve.

6.

Find pilot - follow metal tube from gas control.
The pilot is on the right hand side of the first
burner.

7.

Turn knob on gas control counterclockwise
to PILOT.

8.

Push in control knob or push-button all the way
and hold in. Immediately light the pilot with a
match using the match holder. Continue to hold
the control knob in for about one (1) minute after
the pilot is lit. Release knob and it will pop back
up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat
steps 2 through 8.

a.

If the knob does not pop up when released,
stop and immediately call your service
technician or gas supplier.

b.

If the pilot will not stay lit after several
tries, turn the gas control knob to OFF and
call your service technician or gas supplier.

9.

Replace the louvered airbox cover and tighten
the two thumb screws securely.

10.

Turn gas control knob counterclockwise  
to ON.

11.

Replace control box cover.

12.

Restore power to the boiler and adjust the
thermostat high enough to call for heat to verify
the boiler is operating properly.

13.

Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.

2A-2. High Altitude Burner

Air Shutter Replacement

DANGER

This procedure must be followed exactly and
must be performed by a qualified installer or
warranty may be voided.

DANGER

Read and understand this entire procedure
prior to proceeding. Improper adjustment of
high altitude shutters may result in a fire,
explosion, and/or high levels of toxic gases
which may cause property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.

1.

STOP! Read the safety information above.

2.

Perform System Start-Up in accordance with
Section 2A of this manual.

3.
